Michael Fassbender talks BLACK BAG, X-MEN, INGLORIOUS BASTERDS, Mad Max audition

Video Description

Michael Fassbender returns to the podcast (5th time!) and the cause is good this time as he's got an excellent Steven Soderbergh film to promote (BLACK BAG). But there's much more to this chat including a horrible Mad Max audition story, the time he thought he blew his Quentin Tarantino meeting, and more. #happysadconfused #joshhorowitz #michaelfassbender #blackbag To get early access to all of Josh's interviews plus bonus content, merch, and discounts to live events, go to patreon.com/happysadconfused Make sure you SUBSCRIBE to the channel so you don't miss any of Josh's interviews!
